Roberto Romanello raised from the cutoff to 1,600 and found a call from Andres Carrera in the big blind.
Both players checked the 5♥4♣K♠ flop, and it was rinse and repeat on the J♥ turn.
The 10♦ peeled off on the river, and Carrera led out for 1,200. Romanello raised to 4,500, and shortly after Carrera's cards were in the muck and the chips headed Romanello's way.
Loan Phan opened to 1,600 from middle position and both Calvin Wan called from late position and Eric Vogler called from the small blind.
The 6♠2♠5♠ flop was checked by Vogler, and Phan bet 5,000. Wan folded and Vogler called.
A 3♥ came on the turn and Vogler checked. Phan bet 10,000 and Vogler called.
The 10♣ river saw Vogler bet out 13,000. Phan jammed for around 35,000 and Vogler paused, before mucking his hand.
Pedro Cabeca raised to 1,600 from the hijack and was called by Terence Reid in the cutoff and Ismael Bojang in the big blind for a three-way pot.
Action checked through on the 9♣6♦8♦ flop and then Bojang led out for 3,500 on the 10♠ turn. Cabeca folded, but Reid called.
Bojang checked after the 9♥ completed the board and Reid announced a bet of 18,000 after a lengthy tank.
After an even lengthier tank, Bojang let his hand go and Reid collected the pot.
Jonathan Tare opened for 6,600 from middle position and got called by Eric Buchman on the button taking both players to the flop.
The dealer flopped A♠4♦9♣. Tare check-called Buchman's bet of 6,500 leading them to the turn.
After a check on the turn K♦, Buchman bet 9,000 and Tare decided to raise to 22,000. Without wasting any time, Buchman called.
Both players saw the river drop 5♥ and on the third check, Buchman pushed all-in for 23,400 sending Tare to the tank.
Tare looked at his chips and was in deep thought. He decided to fold his hand and concede the pot to Buchman.
Carmen Raiche-Marsden and Steven Benjamin had created a huge pot of 90,000 when they arrived on the K♥3♣8♦Q♣4♠ river. Raiche-Marsden checked to Benjamin, who bet 35,000.
Raiche-Marsden quickly tossed in a single calling chip. Benjamin sheepishly tabled A♦J♦ for ace-high, and Raiche-Mardsen raked in the pile of chips with A♣K♦ for top pair.
While many players are still registering for the 2025 Main Event, a lot of others are already on their way out, including 2013 Main Event champion Ryan Riess who was seen leaving his seat after one of the first hands of the day.
The field has grown to 4,292 players taking part on Day 2d, bringing the total number of entries for the 2025 rendition to 9,474 thus far.
Gustavo Narducci from the cutoff and Felipe Olivieri from the big blind had both committed 4,500 preflop to create a bloated pot.
On the K♠4♦4♣ flop, Olivieri checked to Narducci who bet 1,500 and Olivieri put in the call.
The 3♣ turn checked through to the 8♥ river which saw Olivieri block for just 900. Narducci would then put out a raise to 7,000, and Olivieri reluctantly called after a small tank. He got the bad news as Narducci tabled K♥K♣ for a flopped full house to win the pot, prompting an obligatory "That's it?" comment from one of his tablemates.
By the time the turn showed J♣6♦4♦6♠, more than 60,000 were in the middle and Todd Carson checked. Igor Zektser then pushed all-in for 18,700 and Carson snap-called.
Igor Zektser: Q♣Q♥ 
Todd Carson: J♠3♥
The A♠ on the river was a blank and Zektser doubled. Carson was left very short and busted soon after.
Yu Wu opened to 1,600 in middle position and got a caller in Samuel Dray in hijack.
Both players saw a flop of 10♥6♠A♣. Wu continued with 2,000 and Dray stayed on.
The turn Q♥ and river K♦ was checked by both players. Wu tabled first showing A♠3♠ and Dray tabled A♥2♥ for a chop.
